    摘要: The position/force of a machine tool or robot end effecter having at least two degrees of freedom of movement is controlled. A first setting device sets the position command and/or posture command of the working tool on a machine. The instant position and/or posture of the working tool is detected. The force command and/or moment command for commanding the force and/or moment to be applied to the working tool is set, and the instant force and/or moment acting on the working tool is detected. A computing device determines from the position command and/or posture command and the instant position and/or posture, the position and/or posture offset in terms of the coordinate values of an operation coordinate system. A second computing device determines from the force command and/or moment command and the instant force and/or instant moment, force and/or moment offset in terms of the coordinate values of the operation coordinate system. Position/force computation for the control of the position of and the force on the working tool is computed from the position and/or posture offset and the force and/or moment offset in terms of the coordinate values of the operation coordinate system, thereby determining the amount of control to be effected on the working machine.

The probe-driving unit is disposed with three sets of paired drive sources arranged essentially with symmetry with respect to the optical axis of the objective lens.

    摘要: With a scanning probe microscope, if a plurality of sample properties are measured using a scanning scheme of allowing a probe to approach and withdraw from a sample, the sample properties need to be accurately and reliably detected in the minimum required measurement time. Further, the acting force between the probe and the sample varies depending on the type of the probe and the wear condition of a probe tip. Thus, disadvantageously, property values acquired using different probes cannot be compared with one another unless the artifactual effect of the measuring probes are eliminated. In accordance with the present invention, with a scanning probe microscope, the probe is brought into intermittent contact with the sample, while driving means repeatedly allows the probe to approach and withdraw from the sample with a variable amplitude. The sample property is thus acquired at a high speed. Further, a calibration sample is used in a given environment (given temperature and humidity) to acquire a force curve for at least one point. Information obtained from the force curve is used to correct measurements to display the distribution of the sample property.

    摘要: In the case of measuring a pattern having a steep side wall, a probe adheres to the side wall by the van der Waals forces acting between the probe and the side wall when approaching the pattern side wall, and an error occurs in a measured profile of the side wall portion. When a pattern having a groove width almost equal to a probe diameter is measured, the probe adheres to both side walls, the probe cannot reach the groove bottom, and the groove depth cannot be measured. When the probe adheres to a pattern side wall in measurements of a microscopic high-aspect ratio pattern using an elongated probe, the probe is caused to reach the side wall bottom by detecting the adhesion of the probe to the pattern side wall, and temporarily increasing a contact force between the probe and the sample. Also, by obtaining the data of the amount of torsion of a cantilever with the shape data of the pattern, a profile error of the side wall portion by the adhesion is corrected by the obtained data of the amount of torsion.
